I'm not personally attached to the generative linguistics apparatus per se, but I was asked by the journal to write this paper as a response to another paper, and that paper is primarily opining about the possible "end of (generative) linguistics as we know it."

I didn't say that social relevance will guarantee generative linguistics's survival (note that there is a subtle difference between "theoretical" and "generative"), but rather that social irrelevance will likely guarantee its demise.

I'm glad you liked it! (I am the author)
